This is the Timberwolves BIGGEST Issue 🏀
Problem I’m having with Minnesota the problem I’m having with Minnesota they got the best defense in the league right but they last 10 game five of the last 10 games wolves Charlotte Orlando San Antonio and Chicago they go into the fourth quarter with a ninepoint lead a eight-point lead a 10-point lead a
15-point lead double digit leads their problem is not their halfcourt offense their problem is closing games they get plenty of points they get plenty of action their defense isn’t the issue with that being said they got an issue closing games Anthony Edwards is is arguably is definitely in the
Conversation as one of the best two guards in the game but him and Cat and with Mike connley they have a difficult time keeping that offense rolling in the fourth

I lowkey think ANT is overrated his personality is what makes people rate him so high
They just need a another shot creator in the 4th thats it imo
It’s definitely been a struggle and frustrating as a big fan of the team. I think it shows how much we need Mike Conley out there to make smart decisions, it’s been a combination of low IQ basketball and teams going nuclear. The issue does appear to be clearing up because they haven’t shown any of those potential slip ups in the past couple games. They caught themselves the last time they played Portland, they were up by 30 against them and Portland fought back to an 8 point game and the Wolves ended up dropping them by 37. I think them holding their lead and extending it against the Clippers who’s one of the scariest 4th quarter teams shows that they can close out against good teams.
Their problem will be the same problem Utah had with Gobert. Use small linueps so he has to gaurd the perimeter and since he cant punish smaller linups he gets played off the floor. Kat isnt very consistent either…
Sounds like a coaching or guidance issue. There should be a plan for closing out games.
Kat is SOFT.. THATS our issue
This 4th quarter issue is due to the lack of flow in the offense especially as things get close. When Mike is on it we can close out games. But as great as hes been he cant do that consistently and Ant can pull off amazing performances too but we need to maintain a flow on the offense. Hopefully Monte can help with that when we have Mike on the bench, and KAT’s 3 point shooting volume has been a much needed boost, i think in the last 10 games(as of rn) we are #1 in Net rating and Defense and #5 in offense. Now sustaining that level of offense will be a tough task but we can be a top 10-12 offense when we utilize our players strengths well. It really took Finch some time to figure things out with us offensively
KAT amd Gobert have a hard time guarding the best Bigs
We'll see what happens with Minnesota in the playoffs.
5 of their last 10, but you named 4 and then themselves
Has a hornets fan. I don’t understand how we consistently beat this team then lose to someone like the pistons 🤦
They look a lot like the Celtics when it comes to closing out games when they have the lead lol
Ant Man is the most overrated player in the league.. He’s good but the way they try to portray this kid like he’s the New Air Jordan is RIDICULOUS!!!! He’s not dominant in any way, he’s either very inefficient in the fourth or he goes missing… He’s more like the new Vince Carter!!
Ive been saying it Ant man Jayson Tatum and Jalen Brown talented as hell but makes no one around them better aka this era's Carmelo Anthony
They have an issue where they settle on too many threes
its simple there offence isn't good enough
It’s because having Rudy on any basketball court is a automatic -10 offensive rating
This is the same problem the Celtics had 2yrs ago on their playoff run
Didnt we saw this over and over in Utah? Defense so great in regular season but when post season comes Rudy become a liability
It's because Anthony Edwards sits at the start of the 4th quarter until like 7 minutes and by the time he comes back the game it's gone. It's the BENCH unit. đź’Ż
Listen to the teams listed, they are all trash teams. The wolves dont take them serious and then it becomes an avalanche, they buckle down against the good teams.
As a wolves fan who live here I agree
True but we’ll get together
He wrong
